Résumé
As osteopaths, many of us ideally endeavour to minimise biased interpretations when evaluating the pain and distress expressed by individuals seeking treatment. However, as a product of the society we live in, we acknowledge that various unconscious biases, including racial bias, may unintentionally and spontaneously influence our view of a patient's condition and perception of pain. This paper explores the intersection of Person-Centred Care (PCC) and racial biases through critical theory in the context of osteopathic practice. It emphasises the ethical duty of healthcare professionals to deliver PCC that recognizes individual experiences, values, needs, and abilities. Racial biases within healthcare settings are identified as contributors to disparities in access, quality, and outcomes. They can also lead to bias in the clinical decision-making process requiring attention in osteopathic clinical practice.
